While JFK was making a White House run in May 1960, a 24-year-old
black Navy vet from Bayonne, New Jersey joined a friend on a road
trip home. Little did James Fair, Jr. know how ill-timed his arrival
in rural Early County, Georgia would be. Less than three days later,
he'd find himself behind bars, convicted for the rape and murder of
an 8-year old girl, and facing Georgia's electric chair.

Clennon L.King's
"Fair Game: Surviving a 1960 Georgia Lynching" chronicles the
26-month campaign spearheaded by Alice Fair to rescue her son from a
county notorious for lynching. Dedicated to the 24 known black men
who were lynched in Early County, Georgia between 1877 and 1950, the
documentary is a tribute to the Boston-based filmmaker's late father,
Atty.
C. B. King
of Albany, Georgia, who fought to prevent James Fair, Jr. from
becoming the 25th victim.
